If you want to put together a seriously eye-catching outfit, we'd definitely recommend making use of one of the following accessories:
Stargazer Hair Gel
Have you ever tried to ignore someone with neon colours in their hair? No? Well, take it from us, it's virtually impossible. The Stargazer range of coloured hair gels come in practically any colour you could want, from darkest, gothiest black to luminous green. And yes, we did just invent the word gothiest.
If you want a costume with real sparkle, then never under-estimate the value of a good glitter shaker. StarGazer is again our brand of choice: their glitter looks far more expensive than it actually is, and it again comes in a number of different colours, from swanky purple to a UV green. Sprinkle away, possibly whilst doing the sprinkler dance.
Withdrawing some lash from the lash machine
A good pair of false eyelashes can really help to liven up the facial area and give it real glamour. We stock a number of different lashes, from the subtle and sophisticated La La Lashes range to StarGazer's own peacock and gold glitter tips. Whether you're obsessed with being the belle of the ball or just want to make your costume that little bit more other-worldly, false lashes are a party must.
No, you didn't read that wrong: lip tattoos! If you want to attract a lot of attention and set yourself apart from the nightclub dullards, then a lip tattoo is a great way to do so. Easily applied, they'll give your lips the look of everything from tiger stripes to a Union Jack. What's more, they're really good value: if you're on a budget, you'll struggle to find a better way to stand out from the crowd.
Diamonds are forever
Care to be the sparkliest person at the party? StarGazer's face and nail diamonds are an outstanding way to do so without breaking the bank. Whether you want to draw attention to your luscious lashes or simply want your nails to catch the eye, our range of face jewels are the perfect solution.

Twinkle, twinkle, little eye. Our Blue Star contact lenses have a completely unique design, the sharp darker blue matched superbly with the sky blue background to create a really eye-catching look.
Charge across the waves and rule the seas! Be your very own Ahab with these nautical lenses. Using a grey-blue surrounded by darkened lines, they look great. The colour itself is also flexible enough to be worn with almost anything: it'll look just as cool worn with fancy dress as it will on a night out!
If you're planning an out-of-this-world costume, then the space blue contact lenses are the perfect accompaniment. The delicate blue matched against the black almost resembles the view of earth from space, and the natural sheen of the design is sure to catch the light in any situation.
Looking to raise hell (and pulses)? The UV electric blue contact lenses are the perfect way to top off any other-worldly outfit. The cool factor of these lenses is undeniable: they actually appear clear in regular light, but as soon as they meet UV, they explode in a retro-blue light (not literally, obviously). One of the most unique lenses in our catalogue, and a favourite of many people.
Looking for lenses that will look great without being too loud and proud? The elegance green lenses are perfect examples. The delicate peacock-style design is completely one-of-a-kind, and the shades of green and turquoise used as wonderfully subtle. Alluring, sophisticated and utterly unique.
The Green Hornet was one of the standout comic book adaptions of recent years (not as good as The Dark Knight, obviously, but then what the hell is?), and anyone looking to get into the spirit of the film should take a look at these Green Hornet Contact Lenses. The brighter green colouring alone is versatile enough to suit a range of different looks.
These host contact lenses are amongst the most other-worldly that we sell, without being too overdone. The colours are relatively simple, comprising mainly of shades of slightly iridescent and pale greens. They'll look great in a number of different potential outfits, and will even look good with a normal going-out get-up.
If you loved the Saw movies and want to get involved in a way that doesn't lead to being arrested, then these Jigsaw lenses are the perfect way to nail that demented, serial-killer-and-torturer look in time for the big party (a sentence that can't have come up too often). Combining just enough blood with just enough white, they're a definite must for Halloween.
Those looking for a bit more fire in their red should check out these ghost rider lenses. The Zarazoth designs are a dark, blood-red bordered by black that'll look absolutely great in more or less any evil costume. Zombie? Check. Vampire? Check. Satan? Check. Politician? Check. (Ok, ok, we're kidding. Maybe.)
Looking for a seriously eye-catching (or should that be eye-shooting?) design? Then these Red Target contact lenses are the ideal addition to your costume. Become a modern version of King Harold II with these killer lenses. Just don't take them paintballing: somehow, that just feels like asking for trouble.
Looking to have a close encounter at that party? (Oh, pull your minds out of the gutter). These lenses are a great way to top off the extra-terrestrial costume. The grey, red and black patterns are definitely other-worldly, so they'll look just as good in a vampire or werewolf costume, too.
ColourVue regularly send us top-notch lenses, and the Tremor models here are typically excellent. Combining an uneven (and bleeding massive) black pupil that cracks into pale green irises, they look seriously cool. They'll fit into practically every Halloween costume you have in mind. Unless you're going as James Bond or something. ('Do you expect me to talk?' 'No, Mr Bond, I expect you to JESUS CHRIST HE'S AN ALIEN!!')
We're not expecting you to pronounce the title perfectly (though kudos if you can), but we do expect you to love these seriously cool lenses. The pale grey irises and spidery black pupils will add a unique style to almost any costume.

]]>Myth 1: Contact lenses can get stuck or fused to the eye
Like a fair few myths on this list, the idea that contact lenses can get stuck to the eye was probably started by someone not following the specified instructions. If you let your eyes run dry or wear lenses beyond the stated time period, then they can become a bit sticky, but they're not actually stuck! To combat this, simply splash a bit of cool water onto the eye and the lens will loosen. Absolutely don't run around yelling 'My eyes, my eyes!'
Myth 2: Contact lenses hurt
Again, this myth comes from largely inexperienced wearers. It's entirely normal for first-time wearers to experience a bit of discomfort whilst getting used to lenses. The key is not to worry: on many occasions, this discomfort won't last much longer than a few minutes! Modern contact lenses are softer, more flexible and more durable than the originals, so there's never been a better time to start wearing them.
Myth 3: Contact lenses can be worn beyond the specified time
No, no, no. This is absolutely a myth, and possible the most dangerous one on the list. Disposable contact lenses of any kind need to be discarded on the date set by the manufacturer. Compliance dates are usually specified by the relevant body, so it'd be downright moronic to ignore them. Do NOT wear lenses beyond the specified dates.
Myth 4: Contact lenses can cause eye infections
The vast majority of contact lens problems stem from poor hygiene. It's vital to take cleanliness seriously, just as you would with anything else involving your eyes! Improper handling of the lenses and a lack of cleaning (not to mention wearing the lenses beyond the manufacturer's prescribed compliance) can be risky. Always use the necessary cleaning fluids and apply lenses using the correct procedures, and there'll be nothing to worry about.
Myth 5: Contact lenses can get lost behind the eyes
Complete and utter rubbish; ironic, given that this is perhaps the most common myth on the list! There is a thin membrane called the conjunctiva forming a barrier between your eye ball and your eyelid that makes it impossible for the lenses to move from the front of your eye to the back. So stop worrying about it!
Myth 6: Some people simply can't get used to lenses
Largely not true. Whilst lenses might seem a little bit odd first time round, 95 per cent of people will get used to them soon enough. Like anything else, applying them just takes a bit of practise!
Measure it up. Before you put the lashes anywhere near your eyes, you should measure them carefully. If a lash is the wrong length, it could end up drooping at the corner or (far worse) simply poking you in the eye all day! If you need to shorten the strip, then cut the outer edge completely off using small nail scissors.
Bend, bend, bend. Take both ends of the false lash and bend them so that the lash creates a 'C' shape, and then hold it for a couple of seconds. This is the quickest way to immediately take the straightness out of the lash, ensuring that it moulds to the curved shape of the eye and doesn't end up lifting at the corners when it's been applied.
Use quality glue. It's important to use quality glue when applying the lashes, as this'll ensure that they last the distance. If you've got a steady hand then it's possible to squeeze straight from the tube onto the strip. However, it's easier to put glue on the back of tweezers so you can glide it across the lash strip. Ensure that you're generous with the amount used, especially at the inner and outer corner so the glue doesn't come unstuck.
Give the glue a bit of time. Wait ten seconds or so for the glue to become a bit more sticky and tactile before you press the lash onto the line, as this will prevent the glue from slipping around whilst you're trying to line it up properly. Be sure to apply the lash to the base of your natural lash line, not the eyelid. Don't worry about a little bit of mess, as the glue typically dries clear.
Wait before applying mascara! It's important to wait until last before applying your mascara. This will enable you to integrate the natural lashes with the false ones, allowing them to mesh into each other. If you see a gap showing on the eyelid skin between natural lashes and the false ones, you don't need to pull the strip off and start again: it's far easier to fill in the gap with a matte black eye shadow.
Remove first. At the end of the night, it's easier to remove false eyelashes before you take off the rest of your eye makeup: pre-soften the glue with a cotton swab soaked in an oily makeup remover. This will loosen the glue up.

Preparing for contact lenses
It's important to ensure that you prepared your eyes (and the lenses) accordingly before you insert them, guaranteeing comfort and safety. This can be easily done by following a specific process:
Wash your hands, keeping the contact lenses within easy reach. Ensure that once you've washed your hands, you touch nothing but the lenses. This is essential, as it can minimise the risk of infection. Touching the sink or toilet could transfer bacteria to your hands – the sort of bacteria you don't want anywhere near your eyes! Don't wash your hands using perfumed, fragrances or anti-bacterial soap: the former can irritate your eye, and the latter can kill the healthy bacteria in your eye that prevents harmful pathogens colonising your cornea.
Ensure that you dry your hands thoroughly on a CLEAN towel. Where possible, have a dedicated contact lens towel in place so there's no contamination or crossover.
Insert the lenses. Ultimately, inserting contact lenses is something that you'll get used to. They feel decidedly weird the first time, and it's not uncommon to get a little bit of irritation in the first few days. Don't worry: you'll acclimatise! If you're planning to wear the lenses for a longer period of time at a specific event, then wear them for a couple of hours a day in the run up so that your eyes can get used to them.
To apply the lenses, blink several times to coat your eye in tears. From there, place the lens on the index finger of your dominant hand. Use the ring and middle fingers of your other hand to pull your top eyelid upwards, and then use the ring and middle fingers to pull the eyelid down, then gently place the contact lenses in the centre of your eye. Tilt your head backwards slightly, and then let go of both eyelids. Blink several times to coat your eye in tears.
How to clean and store your lenses
When cleaning your contact lenses, there are a few important things to bear in mind:
Some things to be aware of:

]]>Perfect eye make-up is a wonderful thing. It can help those beautiful blues or sultry browns really stand-out and sparkle, making you look like everything from a seductress to a fairytale princess, no matter how little sleep you got last night! However, as with any form of make-up, there's a lot that can go wrong. Today, we're going to take a look at the most common eye-makeup blunders, and how they can be avoided.
Using the wrong concealer to get rid of those dark circles. What colour are your dark circles (and if you say dark, we're going to slap you)? Everyone's circles are different: some are green, some blue and some purple. It's therefore vital to pick out the right colour concealer. Green circles should be banished with the pinkish tinge, whereas a more peachy colour will help you fight off the blue and purple coloured circles. Get this wrong, and everything will look a bit odd, and you'll still look tired.
Curling after mascara. Repeat after me: 'I will never, ever, ever apply mascara before I get the eyelash curler out'. If you apply mascara first, there's a pretty damn high chance that you'll end up with clumped, weird looking lashes, not to mention a curler that looks like it's had a makeover of it's own.
Not using a primer more often. Primer might well be the most under-rated tool in a make-up artists bag. As well as preventing creasing, primer also helps to hold liner in place. Frankly, it's bizarre that so many people are prepared to use it only when using eyeshadow. Instead, sweep a small amount of primer onto the lids (even if you're only doing a quick make-up) and see your make-up last a lot, lot longer.
Mascara and liner before eyeshadow. You can see where this is going, can't you? Yup, repeat after me: 'I will not apply liner and mascara before eyeshadow'. If you apply shadow last, you make it much more difficult to achieve the colour blend you want. It's more preferable to use shadow and blend, to then think of liner and mascara as the icing on the cake.
Using liner on your waterline. If you're applying lower liner, then always ensure it's applied to the lid, not the waterline. If it's added to the latter, you'll find that it rather swiftly disappears!
Place a dark shadow on the inner corner. The inner corner of the eye is already dark. So why add more? If you place dark shadow on this area, then it'll only make the area worse. It's much better to apply a shimmery white or cream colour, which will help bring more light into your eyes, and make them look much brighter and bigger.
Lining a cat eye down. It's important to ensure that you keep the line upwards when using an extended cat-eye style. If you move downwards then then this can make your eyes look both smaller and droopy: neither looks that you want when heading out into town!
Not using a waterproof mascara. It's almost tempting to say that anyone forgetting to do this deserves to have runny make-up! However, we'll simply leave you with this: always, always use a waterproof mascara unless you've got a SERIOUSLY good reason for not doing so! Say no to black rims on your eyes mid-morning!
Adding dark powder eyeshadow right after concealer. If there's one thing guaranteed to ruin that stylish look it's having dark powder all over your face: you're not a chimney sweep! Apply any dark shadows you're using before the concealer goes on, and don't forget to sweep off the excess.
Sleeping with eye make-up on. Ok, ok, we know: we've all forgotten to take the make-up off after a busy night. However, as we all know, leaving make-up on for a long period is a sure-fire way to invite acne in. Always use a makeup remover before going to sleep: where possible, use one that has oils, as this'll mean you can get rid of the make-up without having to do too much scrubbing: something that doesn't exactly help you look youthful anyway!
Make-up tips for blue eyes
Make sure you nail the eye-shadow.
Picking out the right eye-shadow is a key part of emphasising those beautiful blues. Ideally, you should go for brown, rose, terracotta or neutral whilst in the office, and then a more eye-catching colour such as purple when heading out for an evening on the town. Other great matching shades for blue include lavender and deep plum. You can also brave the world of metallic (silver and gold look great) if you like that sort of look. The world is your eye-ster. (sorry).
Shadow effects
A lot of people prefer to use sheer shadow when it comes to blue eyes. Because the natural colour is fairly calm, sheer shadows can help to make them pop. If you don't want to go for sheer, though, then matte shadow will have a similar effect – it's particularly suitable for professional occasions.
One of the cool things about blue eyes is that it's possible to actually layer a number of colours together in order to achieve some great combinations. Combining a light brown and then a copper tone, for instance, can look killer: they're both bright colours that will combine well with the blue. Strangely, shades of navy can also work really well with natural blue.
Blue eyes can look absolutely stunning when combined with a smoky charcoal eyeliner. As with the eye-shadow, dark blue, grey and silver eyeliner will work well with blue eyes. If you want to create a really eye-catching, Zooey Deschanel-type contrast then combine those beautiful blues with black.
Warming up
Because blue has that icy edge, warmer hues can work particularly well. Any colour that has more warmth – such as hazel – can help to give normal blue a bit of warmth. (Vice-versa, if you've got slightly warmer eyes, then a cooler shade of eye-liner or shadow can help them pop).
Less lip
Whatever shade of blue your eyes are, they can be emphasised through the toning down of your lip colour. If you pick out a matte lipstick in a peachy brown or pale pink, then your lips are less likely to steal the limelight. Of course, if you've got particularly stunning lips then you can always let them take centre-stage and tone down your eye colour using our delicate blue contacts.
Make-up tips for brown eyes
Know your shades
The shade of your eyes will have a big impact on which make-up is preferable. Those with bright hazel, for instance, aren't going to benefit from the same techniques that help black-brown eyes pop. Fortunately, almost every shade of brown works well with the others: hazel and black-brown together looks great.
For medium brown eyes
Three standout colours to work with are green, violent and bronze, all of which will look great with medium brown. Indeed, medium brown eyes are one of the most versatile, with purple and green in particular working as well in day-time as they do in the evening. Another good tip is to pair neutral shadow with copper or bronze eyeliner.
White Liner
Does white eye-liner work? Well, it's certainly a controversial choice. However, there's a lot to be said for pairing white liner with metallic tones in order to bring out brown eyes. It's unique, sure, but if you like the look then you've found an instant, eye-catching trick to pull on those nights when you want all the attention.
Cobalt Blue
Speaking of eye-catching. If you really, really want to turn heads, then cobalt blue is a killer tool. As well as catching the attention of its own accord, the colour really helps the brown to pop. Again, this isn't going to be a look that suits everyone, but a lot of people will really love it.
For light brown eyes
The one caveat to the point we made about versatility is that light brown eyes shouldn't be used with pure black eyeliner. Ensure that the chosen eyeliner has at least some shade of brown within. For the brightest hazel, champagne tones containing violet, bronze or brown liner can help to reflect the flecks of colour in the eyes.
Don't be afraid to shake things up
Every now and then, it can look great to combine some real bright sparks of colour with brown eyes to help really stand out. Metallic silver shadow paired with metallic plum along the bottom lash line, for instance, can really turn heads. Indeed, any complimentary light eye-shadow combined with dark brown eyeliner can look great.
Make-up tips for green eyes
All praise to purple
Purple is known for being about the most versatile eye-shadow colour, and it's at its best when combined with green eyes. The two colours are on opposite sides of the colour wheel, meaning that they contrast each other superbly, helping to enhance both at the same time. The only versions of purple best ignored are those that contain blue undertones.
Stay clear of silver
Whilst metallic shades can still look great when combined with blue, it's best to avoid silver. Bronze, copper and gold, however, can look superb. In particular, they can look great when combined with an earthy brown or dark green eye-shadow.
Say no to black eyeliner
Whilst black eyeliner is almost universally popular, there's one colour that it's not quite so effective with: yup, you guessed it: green! If you want to deploy a darker eyeliner with green eyes, then it's best to go for chocolate brown or espresso for every day, and then a spicier plum or gold when heading out onto the town. If you want to really make those eyes pop, then a little white eyeliner added to the inner corner near the tear duct can look great.
Go bronze
Like blue eyes, green eyes look absolutely great with warmer colours, meaning that bronze an ideal compatriot: it really helps the green stand-out. (Gold can work just as well if you get a warm enough shade).
]]>Purple Eye shadow
Isn't purple eye shadow a wonderful thing? Aside from the neutrals, we can't think of a single other colour that has quite the same level of versatility. From blond eyes and blue eyes to black and brown eyes, there's not a single person out there that can't make purple eye shadow work.
Purple works great with brown eyes in almost any situation due to the strong contrast – on the colour wheel, the two are directly opposite each other. A purple eye-shadow with a slightly blue tint can really help the natural warmth of the brown to pop.
If you're planning on using purple eye-shadow, then you'll want a pair of lenses that have that warmth. Our natural hazel contact lenses are ideal.
Blue Eye-shadow
There's no denying that blue eye shadow can be a bit of a divisive beast. When done wrong, it makes the wearer look like they belong in an eighties techno band. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, if that's the look you're going for!). However, when done right – as a combination with brown eyes for example – it can look great. The coolness of the blue again contrasts nicely with the natural warmth of the iris.
Again, if you're going to use blue eye-shadow then it's probably best to go with a slightly warmer brown. Our natural brown contact lenses are ideal.
Yellow and Orange Eye-shadow
One of the benefits of using eye-shadow is its ability to bring out different tints in the eye, depending on which colours are used. For brown eyes, orange and yellow eye-shadow is a perfect example of this. When worn with slightly brighter brown or hazel eyes, they help to bright out the yellow-y tint within the iris. This is quite a unique effect, but is one that will still appeal to a number of different people. A mix of the two – more of a gold-y shade – can also look good.
If you're looking to go for that slightly yellow-y effect, then the Big Eyes Pretty Hazel Contact Lenses are well worth a look.
Silver Eye-shadow
Like blue eye-shadow, one of the main reasons that silver eye-shadow can work so effectively with brown eyes is that it has a natural coolness which contrasts nicely with the opposing colour. Fortunately, those looking to go with silver eye-shadow have a lot of different options: more or less any shade will work, including platinum, metallic silver or even gun-metal. The only thing to bear in mind is that silver under the lower lash-line can highlight any dark circles under the eye, so it might not work quite as well the morning after a late night.
Silver eye shadow obviously offers an eye-catching look, which makes the Diva Brown contact lenses a very sensible investment.
Brown and neutral eye shadow
If in doubt, go with the matching colour! Whilst wearing eye shadow that's the same colour as the eyes isn't exactly the most transfixing, we all need to make a good impression here and there! (It's not like bright silver is going to suit a professional day at the office!). A good way to help to inject a bit of personality into the matching look is to add a little bit of colour (such as purple, teal or green) just under either the lower lash line or the waterline. The effect will be subtle enough to go un-noticed, but will still help the eyes pop.
For a day-to-day, but still classy, look, go for the Bigger Eyes sweet honey contact lenses.
Green Eye-shadow
Last, but nowhere near least, is green eye-shadow. Again, this colour really can look great on both hazel and darker brown eyes. In the case of the former, the eye-shadow can help to emphasise the hazel's hints of green. For a really vivid pop, teal green is perfect, offering unrivalled vibrancy. Ideal for those occasions where nothing less than really standing out will do.
A slightly darker brown will be ideal for that vibrant green effect. Our Edward Scissorhands contact lenses are the ideal choice. Yes, really: they look gorgeous!
]]>Blue eyes
One of the benefits of blue eyes is that they can be easily be manipulated to look either brighter or darker, depending on the outfit worn. Wearing a lighter outfit such as a pretty blue dress or a white top will help throw more emphasis on the lighter specs within the eye, with darker tops, shirts and dresses in turn helping the darker parts of the eye to stand out. Other colours that work great are pink (which offers a nice contrast) and some shades of brown which helps to lend a bit of warmth to the blue. There is of course also the eye-catching contrast between the blue and black.
If you're not naturally blue-eyed but you'd like to achieve the look, our vivid blue contact lenses are ideal.
Green Eyes
There's something about green eyes that looks undoubtedly stylish. However, that doesn't mean that they can't be further emphasised through the creative use of some other colours. Matching greens are definitely worth looking at, as they can help to add a sense of extra depth. Those looking to help add some extra sparkle should consider the merits of a purple outfit, as this can help the eyes appear brighter. And, just like blue eyes, green eyes look great when contrasted with black.
Our natural green contact lenses are indistinguishable from the real thing, so they're perfect for those that want to achieve the natural look.
Dark brown eyes
The main aim of those with the darkest shade of brown eyes (the shade often referred to as 'black-brown'), is to try and help them 'pop'. Fortunately, there are a lot of different colours that can help to achieve this effect. Neutral colours – especially off-white, ivory or cream – naturally complement the dark brown, and depending on the shade of the outfit can help to both lighten and darken the impression that they make. The jewel tones also look great: ruby red, sapphire blue and dark teal, as well as emerald and royal greens all provide a stark contrast that can be genuinely stunning and vibrant.
Those seeking a vibrant dark-brown look should consider investing in our natural brown contact lenses.
Light brown eyes
It's quite surprising how little overlap there is between the right colours for dark brown eyes and the right ones for the lighter, hazel shades. While the former works great when contrasted with brighter, more vibrant colours, the latter is more suited to the delicate shades of the autumnal spectrum. Soft yellows, oranges, delicate reds and peaches all help to emphasise the redder tones found within light brown eyes. Other colours that naturally suit hazel eyes are greens (which are autumnal in their own way) as well as other shades of brown. Again, as is the case with most outfits, using variations of the same colour can help to add more depth to the different elements.
Our natural hazel contact lenses are the perfect choice for anyone seeking a stunning light brown aesthetic.
]]>Today, we're going to take a look at how to pick out the perfect outfit when sporting a pair of our beautiful blues:
We'll get the easier ones out of the way first. As everyone who takes an interest in what they wear knows, there's no more versatile colour (well, shade) than white. It simply goes with more or less everything. In this sense, a plain white (or pale beige) dress will blend with those blue eyes easily, without the need for any embellishments or extra accessories.
Why not combine a white outfit with a set of our vivid blue contact lenses?
Again, wearing black or navy is a great way to instantly throw the emphasis on the eyes and the face. The plain dark shades help to slightly subdue the outfit, meaning that the blue in the eyes is far more likely to 'pop', especially if it's particularly bright. Given the enduring popularity of the classic LBD (Little Black Dress), this is no bad thing!
Our space blue contact lenses are an ideal accompaniment to that stylish black dress.
Orange and blue are renowned for being extremely complimentary to each other, so combining the two is a highly effective technique. Orange is quite a versatile colour: it can be worn all year round on everything from a simply summertime strap-top to a more professional business dress. Peach is another colour along the same lines that combines well with various shades of blue.
Orange combines well with more delicate colours, our blue mist contact lenses offer the perfect complimentary shade.
Light colours can mix well with almost every shade of blue. In the case of the former, they can offer a pleasant complimentary look, and in the case of the latter, they can offer a really great contrast. Different shades will work with different colours, but gentle lemon and light greens are popular, as are light blues.
Pastel clothes work more effectively with other delicate, light colours. Our range of Green Lantern contact lenses might be made for a superhero, but they'll still go perfectly with that summer dress!
There's something undeniably powerful about a purple dress. Though not as frequently seen as the LBD or as common as the 'Lady in Red' look, a purple dress is seductive, glamorous and perfect for offering a 'vixen' sense of style. What's more, they look great when combined with blue eyes, offering a lovely contrast.
Purple outfits tend to be strong, which means that an equally powerful blue will work well. The glamour blue contact lenses are a great choice.

quote:He must not either. Or he just likes being the big fish in a little pond.
quote:But as of Sunday afternoon, sources say, the Mariners and Hernandez are not close to finishing an extension, because there are issues that the two sides are sorting through. The elbow issue is perceived by at least one of the parties in the deal as being a possible impediment to the completion of the new contract. "It's an issue," said one source.

When we discuss food preservation, we are usually talking about canning, dehydrating, freezing or fermenting.
But did you know that you can also preserve fruit in alcohol, such as brandy or vodka? It is a way of preserving the flavor or essence of the fruit for later use. This method consists of steeping fresh or frozen fruit in alcohol for several weeks. In the end, you end up with some "drunken fruit" (good as a dessert topping) and a flavorful alcohol that can be used to make dazzling cocktails, punch, deserts or sauces. But if you take it a step further and add a little sugar syrup to the mix , you now have delicious homemade liqueur! Garlic. 100 Ways to Cook an Egg.

The prevalence of artificial ingredients in processed food had made Americans 13% less likely to know all 50 state capitals. Succor your high-fructose corn-syrup hangover and red dye #40 fears with today's Groupon to William's American Bistro: $10 for $25 worth of sustainable, organic, and fresh fare. Impress your fellow foodies with the skillfully prepared delights and premium ingredients of the New American cuisine.
Pollo Cabana?s smaller menu allowed the chefs to perfect their rotisserie-style Peruvian chicken. They first marinate the poultry in a house blend, and then cook them on a spit over a bed of charcoal. And with a name dedicated to pollo, it is no wonder that their signature chicken is found in nearly every dish. Chickens are served whole or cut into pieces in platters, and chefs pair them with Latin-influenced sides, including fried yucca, fried plantains, and rice and beans. Chicken also serves as the main protein in wraps flavored with signature aji amarillo chili-pepper sauce, salads drizzled with jalape?o0lime dressing, and quesadillas. And the chefs can supersize platters for catered gatherings celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or the first time you ate at Pollo Cabana.

The cuisine masters also fuse American flavors into Latin American recipes, crafting empanadas stuffed with buffalo chicken and served with sticks of celery. Cocktails such as margaritas and beers such as Dos Equis and Shiner Bock complement each meal.

THANK YOU FOR 3 YEARS! - Today's newsletter is sentimental and nostalgic for a number of reasons… First off, it's my birthday! More importantly, my birthday marks the 3rd year anniversary from the day I 'retired' from my innovation job to work full time on TrendHunter.com. With the support of readers and Trend Report customers like you, I was able to build a team of people dedicated to building our Trend Hunter community.
THE PATHWAY - Over the last three years, our dedicated readers, like you, have found inspiration and driven new people to our site. Traffic has grown from 1,000,000 views per month, to over 40,000,000… In fact, we are just weeks away from reaching half a BILLION total views. Together, we've built a community of 200,000 twitter followers (to multiple accounts), 40,000 Facebook fans and 60,000 subscribers to this newsletter. In short, I am VERY THANKFUL that so many of you have become as passionate about Trend Hunter, and our goal to help showcase innovative ideas from around the world.
SEEING IMPACT - Today, I am writing this update from Pakistan, more than 10,000 miles from our Toronto office. I'm here for two days of workshops and keynotes to help inspire business leaders not only about innovation, but also on how to reinvent Pakistan for 2015. I've been touched by how appreciative people have been for this sort of work. Pakistan has often been labeled as the world's 'most dangerous' country in magazines like the Economist.
Having said that, there is a vibrant culture and innovative leaders like you who are SO PASSIONATE about their country, and wanting to find ways to inspire their people and showcase the creativity that thrives behind the walls of negative media press. For example, in 2009, Trend Hunter covered "Anti-Terrorist Fashion", the first ever Pakistan Fashion week. The fashion show brought together 30 designers who wanted to counteract the negative press associated with their country by celebrating its colourful couture. It's ideas like this that the business leaders of Pakistan want to celebrate… and it is ideas like this that TrendHunter.com facilitates around the world.
SOCIALBUSINESS.ORG - This is also a great time to announce our official co-launch of SocialBusiness.org. Crowd fueled by the Trend Hunter community, SocialBusiness.org is dedicated to "ideas, businesses and people who are creating positive social change." the venture is led by my former boss, Stephen King, and edited by Tiana Reid, a former Trend Hunter intern. I'd encourage you to check out some of the ventures on SocialBusiness.org, and PLEASE follow them on TWITTER and on FACEBOOK. By celebrating innovation that create positive social change, we can change the world.

Gear Question
Devin Smith
hey I'm up in New York and we get a lot...
hey I'm up in New York and we get a lot of ice and hardpack. I want a stable ride when dropping into jumps and bombing the hill but I also want to be able to jib with ease. I'm 5'8" and about 165 lbs. What size should I go with?
152 would be more appropriate for your height, but 154 would be more appropriate for your weight (more important) and will hold up to higher speeds.
I also ski and ride in upstate NY. You might want to try a board with magne-traction for more grip on the ice.

SMU Mustangs (4-5)
@Charleston Cougars (6-5)
Thursday, December 24
Stan Sheriff Center
Attendance: 6,416
Honolulu, HI (Sports Network) - Donavan Monroe hit a jumper from the right baseline with 1.1 seconds left to lift the College of Charleston to a 72-71 win over the SMU Mustangs in the consolation bracket of the Diamond Head Classic at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Jeremy Simmons led the way with 18 points for the Cougars (6-5), who lost to Hawaii on Tuesday. They'll play Western Michigan on Christmas Day. Monroe and Tony White Jr. each scored 15, while Andrew Goudelock tallied 14 in the victory.
Mouhammad Faye had 17 points for the Mustangs (4-5), who fell to UNLV in this tournament on Monday. Papa Dia finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds for SMU, which will take on Northeastern Friday. Justin Haynes also scored 14 and Derek Williams had 10 for the Mustangs.
Paul McCoy's put-back with 6.6 seconds left moved the Mustangs to a one-point lead. Without a timeout remaining, the Cougars raced back down the court and Monroe fumbled the ball for an instant before hitting the winning shot on the right baseline.
The ensuing inbounds pass was stolen near midcourt to end the game.
The Cougars won despite being outrebounded 44-23. Not only that, but the College of Charleston didn't have one offensive rebound the entire game.
The Cougars shot 51 percent from the field, compared to 40.6 percent for SMU.
The College of Charleston led 37-30 at the half, but the contest was tight over the final 18 minutes.

Bali Silver the same as others are based on International measurement, often stamped as 925. It means 92.5% out of pure silver. Pure silver is actually also not 100%, but 99.99%. Raw silver material is usually in form of granulation.
Pure silver is easily dented and dull in color; the shining and hard jewelry is the producer secret such as the choice of materials mixed with it.
Caring for silver jewelry
Silver jewelry which is not processed correctly will be easily dull, sometimes getting black spots, scratched and dented. The main reason could be due to the high level of silver content which make your jewelry become soft. Being dull or black may also means that silver content is too low, so easy oxidated or react with other substances.

Difference between revisions of "Trang"
Revision as of 10:08, 2 February 2013Trang (ตรัง) is a town in the Southern Andaman Coast region of Southern Thailand.
UnderstandLying humbly on the Andaman Coast, Trang is a land of unspoilt beauty, kind and friendly people, delicious food, amazing islands and paradise white sand beaches. Located on the same line of historical settlements as Krabi, Phang Nga, Phuket and Ranong, Trang shares the same traditions and heritage. In the early Ratanakosin period, Kantang, which is now one of the six districts of the province, served as the main port of the Penang-Phuket land route. There were two main routes of transportation for these five coastal towns at that time: the land route and the sea route. Kantang used to be one of the main seaports of the south and for this reason Kantang was the capital of the province for many years. Legend has it that ships from other countries always landed at Kantang port at dawn, explaining how Trang got its name. "Trang" is derived from a Malay word meaning "Dawn" or "Bright" (Malay: Terang). Trang used to be a port involved in foreign trade. It was the first city where rubber was planted. Phraya Ratsadanupradit Mahison Phakdi brought rubber from Malaysia and planted it here before anywhere else in southern Thailand in 1899. Rubber is now considered an important commodity of Thailand. The important Trang River flows through the province from its origin in the Khao Luang mountain range and the Palian River from the Banthat mountain range. Trang province has an area of approximately 5,000 square km. ClimateAs Trang is located next to the Indian Ocean, the province gets monsoons all year round, resulting of course in a lot of rainfall. Trang, along with rest of the south of Thailand, has just the two seasons per year:
HistoryAccording to cultural records Trang used to be one of 12 satellite towns that came into exsistence 900 years ago, but it was only during the era of King Rama II that the place was recognized and the province got its first governor. The first Westerner to arrive in Trang was Captain James Low in 1838 to negotiate commercial benefits. In 1915, King Rama VI visited the then provincial town and advised, due to strategical matters in regards to possible enemy attack, that it be moved to its now current location at Thap Thiang. The original meaning of the name 'Trang' is unsure but many historians believe that it derives from the Malay word Trangkae which means 'dawn'. GeographyTrang is a coastal province on the Indian Ocean with a long western coastline of about 119 kilometres. The province consists of an archipelago in the Andaman Sea with over 46 islands. Of these, 12 are in Amphoe Kantang, 13 in Amphoe Palian and 21 in Amphoe Sikao. The best time for sea travel is during October to May. Situated along the Andaman coast, Trang province is home to innumerable beautiful islands, while the mountainous eastern region is home to dramatic waterfalls, caves and pristine jungle. Between the mountains and the coast are extensive plantations of rubber. Culture
Get inBy car
By planeThere are two short (60-90 minute) flights each day from Bangkok to Trang operated by Nok Air (7:00 and 15:00) and Air Asia (8:00, 13:10 and 17:40). Thai Airways and PB Airways no longer offer service to Trang. Taxi to the airport is around 90 baht per person. There is also a public bus which costs 50 baht. Nok Air airline has direct daily flights to Trang with a flying time of 1.20 hours. For more information, please call tel. 1318, 0 2627 2000 or visit [1] The Hat Yai airport is another alternative, served by low-cost airlines. From the airport, a songtaew costs around 30 baht to the Minibus station which is between the airport and Hat Yai town. The Minibus to Trang (slightly more than a 2 hour ride) costs 100 Baht, though you will need to pay for two seats if you have a large backpack, as the Minibuses do not have a trunk. By trainThere are two daily trains from Bangkok to Trang:
Rapid and express trains depart from the Bangkok Railway Station to Trang daily, taking 15 hours for the 870 kilometres journey. More information can be obtained from Bangkok Railway Station at tel. 1690, 0 2220 4334, 0 2220 4444 or calling Trang station at tel. 0 7521 8012. [2] By busMinibuses from the Satun boat terminal (where the boats from Langkawi arrive) to Trang charge 300 baht/person. From Satun bus terminal a bus ticket (on a bus with AC) costs 126 baht/person. Air-conditioned buses depart from the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok to Trang everyday. It takes 12 hours for the trip. For more information, please call 0 2894 6122 or the Transport Co. in Trang at tel. 0 7521 8718 or visit [3]. In addition, there are private bus services; namely, Sap Paisan Tour at tel: 0 2894 6040-1 and Sri Suthep Tour at tel: 0 2894 6166-8 Trang bus station itself is about four kilometers out of town, and tuk tuks rarely come out. If you don't like taking a motorbike, then there is the option of exiting the bus station by the only road that exits from it, back onto the highway. Turn right and walk for about 100 meters. There's a large mall there with a Robinson in it, and some tuk tuks outside. A fare to Trang centre is perhaps about 40 baht. By vanThere are public passenger vans to Trang from neighbouring provinces. They leave when they are full. Get aroundTrang offers mortorised tricycles (Tuk Tuks) and motorbike-taxis for travel within the municipality. Travel between the districts can be done by buses, taxis, passenger vans or by renting vans from tour companies in the city. There are four main terminals. To go to beaches in Sikao District such as Pak Meng Beach, Chang Lang Beach, or Ban Chao Mai take the passenger van opposite Tha Klaang Market on Tha Klaang Road. To go to Huay Yod, Rassada, or Tung Song, take the passenger van at the church on Huay Yod Road near Thammarin Thana Hotel. To go to Tha Khao, Palian, Thung Yaaw, or Samran Beach, take the van near the sports stadium on Rassada Road. To visit the old town in Kantang District, the passenger vans are located on Kantang Road near Trang Train Station. Boats to islandsTrang has 3 main piers for island-hoppers, they are Pak Meng Pier, Ban Chao Mai Pier, and Kuan Thung Kuu Pier. Pak Meng Pier on the beach of the same name is the major pier for boats. From there, there are regular boats to all the main islands. If the island of your choice is off the beaten track, then it is possible to privately hire a boat. Ban Chao Mai and Kuan Tung Kuu Piers also have both regular and privately-for-hire boats. See

For a double room, the prices range from 300 baht up to 380 baht (July 2012), depending on whether you want TV and aircon. PJ Guesthouse (100 meters from the railway station, on the right, and then it's on your left). Basic rooms with fan, windows or not, shared bathroom. 150 baths per night.

One thing in its favour is the 24 hour fast internet access (30 baht per hour). Sri-Trang hotel is close to the railway station on Rama 6 Road. They charge 450/550 baht for a fan/air-coningle room with TV and private bathroom. The rooms are clean and modern, and wireless Internet is free of charge. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Tired of Buying New Cables Every Other Month Because The Old Ones Broke? Never Buy a New Set Of Cables Again With The Friendly Swede's Lifetime Warranty

NOTE 2: In order to provide the same power output as an original 3 ft Apple USB cable, the housing of our 6.5 ft cables need to be a bit larger. Due to the larger head size, it will not be compatible with some cases that have a smaller charger opening.

Before I turn the call over to Steven, I'd like to point out that during the course of this call, participants may make certain forward-looking statements regarding various matters related to our business and company that are not historical facts, including future financial performance, operating results, estimated loss contingencies associated with the Macondo well incident, the Frade field incident in Brazil, the sale of our standard jackup fleet, the newbuild and potential contract associated therewith, the use of proceeds of our recent debt offering and the prospects for the contract drilling business in general. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of management and are therefore subject to certain risks and uncertainties. As you know, it's inherently difficult to make projections or other forward-looking statements in a cyclical industry since the risks, assumptions and uncertainties involved in these forward-looking statements include the level of crude oil and natural gas prices, rig demand, the effects and results of litigation, assessment and contingencies, closing conditions for the sale of our jackup fleet, entering to a binding agreement regarding the newbuild and operational and other risks, which are described in the company's most recent Form 10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated. Transocean neither intends to nor assumes any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments, which differ from those anticipated. [Operator Instructions]
Thanks very much. And I'll now turn the call over to Steven Newman. Steven?
Steven L. Newman
Hello, and thank you for joining us today. Travel schedules and the uncertainty of the timing of the debt offering necessitated that we schedule this call a little later than we would have preferred.

Conversion Van Pricing
2manychoices Posts: 1We are looking at '99 Legend conversions. I know it is hard to price a conversion package but is there any formula like asking for 50% of the package price? Also shouldn't we get a break on last years models? Thanks for your help.
p.s. Can you recommend any other sites for full size van info? -
jboater Posts: 199(Formula)I don't think so: (Break)Yes, a BIG break: and well.....
When I bought my 97' Ford conversion, it too was a prior model year clearance van. I bought it on 12-31-97. I paid the the Ford window sticker (give or take $200.) for it and that included sales tax, title, and plate transfer fees which amounted to about $1,300. The Coachmen conversion had an MSRP of $9,200. and the Ford sticker was $23,200. or there abouts.
I've checked the NADA book and the only mfg. listed for Legend (current production) is Infinity Motor Coach in NY. They have a Legend and a Legend SE in the 2000 model. It is possible to have a 2000 conversion on a 1999 chassis. I can give you book numbers if this is the converter you're refering too.
Also, be sure to check Edmund's and elsewhere for mfg. rebates that are currently available. Mine had a $2,000. rebate from Ford.

billmahan Posts: 68This is my first visit to this forum. I've read about the last 150 post. Great information. I think my question may have already been answered, but I would like to verify what may have been said.
First, I am a VERY happy owner of a 1990 GMC Explorer conversion. 185,000 pretty good miles. Some maintenance, but nothing really unusual for a van this old. No real value as a trade, so I might give it to someone who justs needs to putter around town. I'm not sure I would take it on a coast to coast trip, as we have done several times in the past! Everything still works and we have certainly received all the value we paid for.
Now we are in the market for a fully loaded Explorer 2000 GM or GMC high top. V-8, leather, bells and whistles. Yes, a used van could probably save us a lot of money, but we tend to keep our vehicles for a long time, so we would like to start out new.
I have seen list prices for a fully loaded van in the St. Louis area from mid 40's to low 50's depending upon the particular conversion.
On a car it is SO EASY to figure out a fair price. On vans, picking winning lottery numbers might be easier.
Is there a decent percentage of sticker that you can figure on the van and the conversion part to get to dealer cost? Once I establish that, I can figure out what kind of offer I want to make. Any help pricing this fully loaded van would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. -

bdicristofano Posts: 2I have just left a dealer in illinois. I have been pricing and checking out mini van conversion packages. I have determind that explorer packake appears to be the best in this market. I have got a price of $20,650 on a new 2000 g.m.c. safari 2wd with explorer x package with lcd tv- vcp for $6295 I had a chance to meet explorer sales rep.and discuss service and product and felt pretty comfortable with him. I guess my question is does pricing on van and package seem to a good price or not? I have entill 6-26- 00 to respond.
benzan Posts: 1This is my first time on this forum and I must say I am impressed. I am looking for a conversion van and have no idea what kind of price to pay. I live in new england. I have looked at a 93 chevy gladiator with 55k. 98 ford E-150 regency wiht 36k. Also, are there any makes I should stay away from. Any questions I need to be asking dealers. Also, what kind of range am I looking at for a new conversion van. Thank you
jboater Posts: 199I've been driving a '97 Ford Coachmen for 2.5 years and have been very pleased with it. Bought it new and have had no repair outside of routine maintenance.
The '98 you looked at might be a good choice if the price is decent. I would guess in the range of 15k to 18k unless it's super loaded, top of the line conversion. Then you might get as high as 22k-23k.
Mine has the 4.6L V8 and averages about 15 mpg in my daily driving. That's an even mix of city/xway driving. -
downsizing Posts: 1I would like to trade in my 97 Ford van with the Explorer hi-top conversion with all the bells and whistles(TV/VCR, surround sound, Nintendo, dual radios, CD player, leather seats, etc.) The van has 71K miles on it and is in perfect condition. Any idea what I should expect as a trade-in or if I wanted to sell it on my own? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Israeli government bonds fell for a fourth day pushing yields to a two-week high on speculation the central bank will hold rates this month as the economy is estimated to expand 4.9 percent this year.
The yield on the benchmark 5.5 Mimshal Shiklit bond due January 2022 rose four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 4.66 percent at the 4:30 p.m. close in Tel Aviv, matching the level on Sept. 27. Two-year interest-rate swaps, an indicator of investor expectations for rates over the period, jumped seven basis points to 2.77 percent.
The economy will probably expand 4.9 percent this year, from 4.8 percent in 2010, the Jerusalem-based Central Bureau of Statistics said today. The estimate outpaces most advanced economies, which are forecast by the International Monetary Fund to grow an average 1.6 percent. The Bank of Israel will leave the rate at 3 percent this month according to 13 of 16 economists in a Bloomberg survey.
"As long as growth remains robust in the 5 percent range, it will be harder for the Bank of Israel to cut rates," Terence Klingman, the head of research at Meitav Brokerage in Tel Aviv said by telephone. "Much depends on what happens in Europe and how this will affect the Israeli economy."
Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer lowered the benchmark interest rate for the first time in 2 1/2 years on Sept. 26, citing the worsening global outlook. Three of the 16 economists surveyed expect another 25 basis-point cut this month.
Slowing Inflation
European Union and International Monetary Fund officials indicated today Greece will get an 8 billion-euro ($11 billion) loan next month under a 110 billion-euro bailout. European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet warned of threats to the financial system as the conflict among political leaders intensified over how to extricate Europe from the debt crisis.
Second-quarter growth was 3.7 percent compared with a previous estimate of 3.5 percent, the statistics office said today. Investment in fixed capital will drive 2011 growth, it said
The two-year breakeven rate, which reflects market expectations for inflation over the period, dropped three basis points to 173, implying annual inflation of 1.73 percent. The yield on inflation-linked bonds due June 2013 rose less than one basis point to 1.15 percent.
Inflation likely eased in September as food costs declined following consumer protests and as end-of-summer sales brought down apparel prices. Annual inflation slowed to 3.2 percent from 3.4 percent, according to the median estimate of 17 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The statistics bureau is scheduled to release the data Oct. 14.
The shekel strengthened for a second day, gaining 0.3 percent to 3.6815 per dollar at 4:50 p.m. in Tel Aviv. The Tel- Bond 40 index of corporate bonds climbed 0.4 percent.
Israeli markets will be closed until Oct. 16 for a holiday.
